It was a very exciting day for my children yesterday. Violet has never been the same since we took her to see the movie, Frozen just after Christmas. She has lived and breathed that film. Like a lot of children, she knows every word of every song. She spends many an hour ‘researching’ the film on the internet (YouTube!). She has waited and waited, and asked and asked near enough every day, ‘When is Frozen out on DVD?’ and yesterday was THE DAY!
Off she went to school with me promising to get the DVD (Nah, I’m not organised enough to pre-order it) and so off I tripped to the supermarket. I decided we would make a celebration of film night by having a Frozen inspired tea.
Here’s what I came up with – I’m pretty impressed with myself considering I only had an hour. Once Tara got the drift of what I was doing she was solo excited – I’ve never seen her jump up and down so much. Really cute!
I had seen on Pinterest, a few people have had Frozen parties and loved the idea of Olaf noses (Carrots!) so there was one dish.
We had snow topped pizza (Marguerita with some extra Mozzarella) cut into mountain shaped peaks.
My ultimate favourite (and the one that took the most time) has got to be the Marshmallow Olafs – 3 marshmallows stuck together with sugar glue. Matchmakers for arms. Mini chocolate drops for buttons and orange marzipan noses, I drew the mouth and eyes with edible pen. As you can see from the picture below, Tara was more than chuffed with her Olaf! God knows why, but all 3 girls changed into white onesies for the film – bit strange at 4pm in the afternoon but who am I to argue?
Millie made us some paper snowflakes …
We had snow topped popcorn (Freshly popped kernels with melted white chocolate mixed through it), Snow Mice, Snow topped Marshmallows (dipped in blue icing and edible sparkles), Blue shortbread cookies (which were vile – far too sweet)
And best of all…Me & Derm had Chilli for tea (Get it?)
The girls had a ball and were high as a kite from all the sugar when Grandma came to visit as we had parent’s evening.
I think I earned some Mum Brownie points and I did it all without the help of gin!
These are brilliant, thanks for linking up to #brillblogposts please add my badge or link back and you can join #tastytuesdays too if you fancy!
Oh wow – this is just amazing. We are going to have a frozen party at some point and I will definitely be pinching these! Thanks for sharing
Enjoy your party – make sure you make extra! My 3yo polished off loads of them.
These are adorable. You should definately get mum brownie points for these! #sharefriday
Ha! If only Mum Brownie points were so easy to come by. Hopefully these will make up for me being a complete and utter grump today 🙁
Fantastic! This would make such a fun slumber party idea (maybe it’s the girls looking so cute in their pjs!)
I know! The shame of them being in their onesies at 4.30pm on a monday though!
I bet they loved this! looked fab! x
The little monkeys told me I was perhaps going a little over the top! The cheek 😉
Oh my goodness I love them! We have watched Frozen about 3 times a day since Monday and the kids STILL love it so much. We got the CD yesterday (help me!!) and Olaf is the absolute favourite character. I am SO doing this!

You’ve gotta love Olaf, haven’t you? I think this might be the first DVD we ever wear out. *runs off singing, Do you want to build a snowman*
Wow that is SO cool. I bought it this week (we didn’t get to cinema) and watched it myself cleaning the kitchen haha.
What amazing ideas you have and the girls look like they had a fab time
🙂
How many times have you watched it since?? I think the girls enjoyed it – they were certainly on sugar highs later. Eek!
wow impressive stuff!
Aw thanks Becky. Not that impressive … you should see my ironing pile!
We haven’t watched Frozen yet but I’ve bought the DVD and plan to showcase it one afternoon this week! x
Oh watch it quick, Colette! You will love it as will your 3 little ones!
